Hara-Kiri

He came over over to my house

Soaked up toxins like a sponge

A drunken drive that took an hour

I love him

for coming back to me.

Muffled "Darling" in the morning through

a mouth full of slanderous deception

He brushed my hand

He held it in mine

I stroked his back and traced his shoulder blades

We behaved like the lovers we are

and misbehaved like the children we are

and it was summer rain

and he told me he liked

just lying next to me

and being in the same room

I love him.

 

A millisecond later

He told me he has someone else

He told me he hopes I **** myself

"I hope you **** yourself"

"I hope you **** yourself"

"I hope you **** yourself"

"I hope you **** yourself"

Maybe I will

but it won't be because of him

He doesn't deserve the satisfaction

of being the reason

why I hope I **** myself

 

"A little encouragement for the morning. I have a feeling you'll need it. [He] has stolen enough of your life and energy. This is the time when you become strong and take charge. No more will you suffer emotional damage spewed from him. You're bigger, and stronger than that, even if you don't know it. You are done. Forever. No more. He's gone; erased. You are free."
